Description:
|
Engraved image of The Hon Alexander Fraser Tytler, Lord Woodhouselee (1747-1813). The caption describes him as "One of the Senators of the College of Justice and One of the Lords Commissioners of Justiciary in Scotland F.R.S. Edin". Archived with the image (but not digitised) are two handwritten notes. The first, (LaII.602. F138), states: “Was born in 1747 at Edinburgh, in which city he was educated. After having been professor of universal history at the university, and deputy judge advocate for Scotland, he was raised to the bench of the Court of Session, and took his seat as Lord Woodhouselee, in 1802; and on the elevation of Lord Hope to the president’s chair in 1811, he was appointed a commissioner of jus-ticiary.” The second, (LaII.602. F139/40), states, “Among his works are, “Decisions of the Court of Session;” a treatise on “Martial Law;” “Outlines of a course of Lectures on Universal History;” “Elements of General History;” “An Essay on the principles of Translation;” “An Historical and Critical Essay on the Life of Petrarch;” and “Memoirs of the Life and Writings of Lord Kames.” Died 1813. –Maunder’s Biog”.
